London-based quartet MY SAD CAPTAINS release a new EP into the World today, titled ‘Extra Curricular’. The EP features a brand new version of the track which appeared on last year’s album ‘Best of Times’. Produced and mixed by Leo Abrahams (Wild Beasts, Brian Eno, Jon Hopkins), its whip smart and well-turned out, an ambient pop song full of sideways sonic glances and melodic detours. The video was filmed by the band’s Dan Davis and Nick Goss on location at the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, home of the famed Lipizzaner Horses. It features a dancing white stallion in the palatial surrounds of the school’s main arena. The video contrasts the song’s notions of habit and endurance with images of a completely alternative type of kinship. A strange, archaic relationship between the horse and the rider and the groom.
The EP also features new songs plus a fresh recording of Keeping On, Keeping On, a song whose pulsing electronica on record took flight as the band developed it on tour last year
